: Independent and non-independent refrigeration units are divided according to power source. Independent refrigeration unit (Diesel powered refrigeration unit) means that the refrigeration unit has a separate power source and the unit itself has an independent power source.

Generally speaking, diesel powered reefer unit is integrated structures, but there are also modified split structures (this structure is generally hoisted on the beam of the reefer truck). This type of unit itself has an engine and a generator that provide power and electricity to the refrigeration system Device. It can work independently without being restricted by the working state of the truck engine.

Non-independent refrigeration unit (

😞 As the name implies, it is a refrigeration unit that cannot work independently. This type of unit has no power unit and must rely on the truck engine to drive the compressor to work.

The engine driven refrigeration unit can also be divided into an integral structure and a split structure from the structure. The split structure also includes three types of condenser front type, condenser top-mounted type and condenser bottom-mounted type (bottom-mounted or concealed); but the condenser front-mounted structure is the most common structure in split non-independent refrigeration units.

2.Advantages and disadvantages of diesel engine refrigeration unit and engine driven refrigeration units

Independent refrigeration unit

Advantages: The advantage of diesel engine refrigeration unit is stability and reliability, which is also the most needed for refrigerated trucks. Since the diesel engine refrigeration unit has a separate source of power output, the refrigerator can still work when the refrigerated vehicle is turned off or the refrigerated vehicle has an engine failure, so as to ensure that the goods in the refrigerated vehicle will not deteriorate.

Integrated independent refrigeration unit

Disadvantages: The disadvantage of independent refrigeration units is that they are expensive and maintenance is more complicated than non-independent refrigeration units. Due to the addition of a set of power systems, independent refrigeration units are more complicated than non-independent refrigeration units in terms of maintenance, and independent refrigeration units are relatively more technically complex and more expensive.

Non-independent refrigeration unit

Advantages: The advantages of non-independent refrigeration units are low price, simple structure and easy maintenance.

Disadvantages: The disadvantage of the non-independent refrigeration unit is that it relies too much on the power source of the refrigerated vehicle. When the refrigerated vehicle engine stops working, the non-independent refrigeration unit loses power support and the refrigeration system stops working. If the door is frequently opened when the vehicle is turned off, the large loss of cold air in the refrigerated box causes the temperature in the box to rise, or the refrigerator will stop cooling when the vehicle fails (engine failure), and the cargo in the vehicle is easily lost.

3.Choice of independent refrigeration unit and non-independent refrigeration unit

From the price point of view: If your budget is relatively sufficient and have strict temperature requirements (the required temperature should be at least minus 10 degrees below) ) It is recommended to use a diesel powered refrigeration unit.

In terms of the length of transportation distance: For short-distance distribution within the city or between districts and counties, it is recommended to use non-independent units, which not only lower the procurement cost, but also easy to repair even if there is a failure; For long-distance transportation, it is recommended to use independent refrigeration units, because Even if the vehicle engine stops working during long-distance transportation, the refrigerator can still cool normally to ensure the safety of the transported items.

In terms of vehicle models: Generally speaking, light trucks with a body less than 7 meters are recommended to use non-independent units. For trucks and semi-trailers above 7 meters, independent refrigeration units are better.

      The Science Behind Next-Generation Engine Oils
      By Counterman
      A major change is underway for the bottles of engine oils that line the shelves of American auto shops and supply factory and service fill stations.
      ILSAC GF-7—the next specification for passenger car engine oils—will see its first license on March 31, 2025. That means all factory and service fill engine oils must deliver new levels of performance across a range of criteria, most particularly fuel economy.
      For auto service professionals, it’s worth staying educated on developments like these to best satisfy the wants and needs of your customers. In this article, we’ll explore the new performance requirements of GF-7 in more detail, as well as the science that goes into delivering next-generation performance.
      A Focus on Fuel Economy: GF-7 Performance Requirements
      The new GF-7 specification requires that next-generation lubricants contribute to enhanced fuel consumption rates, as well as enhanced fuel economy retention over the course of the oil drain. To the average driver, these fuel economy gains will likely go unnoticed. But taken across all cars on the road, they will have a major impact on emissions reduction for the American auto population.
      But those aren’t the only new requirements. GF-7 will require lubricants to deliver heightened levels of overall engine protection and will measure the lubricant’s ability to prevent low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), piston deposit control, and premature timing chain wear over extended periods. These are important attributes. For example, LSPI is a potentially catastrophic problem unique to modern gasoline direct injection (GDI) and turbocharged GDI (TGDI) engines.
      The specification calls for advanced performance in several other areas, including deposit control, seal compatibility, wear and corrosion protection, oil pumpability, and catalyst compatibility. Taken comprehensively, the requirements of GF-7 will help to better protect cars on the road while enabling new-model engines to meet their full potential.
      Elsewhere, it’s important to note that GF-7 will in fact be split into two separate categories: GF-7A, which covers legacy viscosity grades 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 10W-30, and GF-7B, which covers 0W-16, a lower viscosity that some OEMs have specified in new-model vehicles to drive even higher fuel economy benefits than the GF-7A category. For auto service professionals, it’s worth knowing how and when to recommend GF-7B products to customers in conjunction with automaker recommendations.
      The Science Behind Performance
      To understand the technology that goes into GF-7 performance or other OEM specifications, it’s helpful to understand the anatomy of an engine oil. Formulations are composed of three primary component parts:
      Base oil. The base oil is the carrier fluid and delivers basic performance. It makes up the majority of the formulation and is a critical building block for formulating a high-quality lubricant. Additive. This is the key performance enabler, allowing the finished product to meet operational requirements when in use. Viscosity modifier and pour point depressant. This component ensures the final product will deliver consistent flow across a broad range of operational temperatures and climates. These components complement each other to create optimized performance that will need new performance specifications. Generally, engine oil producers will utilize high-quality base stocks blended with additives and viscosity modifiers to deliver the required performance.
      There can be some complexities here. Base oil availability and pricing can be inconsistent, and access to the highest-quality options is not always a guarantee for formulators. But by taking advantage of advanced additive technology, engine oil producers can typically meet the required performance standards with a range of available base stocks.
      Additionally, elevated additive performance can enable the use of viscosity modifiers (VMs) that help maximize engine durability while achieving the necessary fuel economy requirements of new specifications. Typically, passenger car engine oils are formulated with VMs that maintain a shear-stability index (SSI) of 35. The higher the SSI, the more easily the finished product will shear, contributing to fuel economy gains. Lower SSI VMs, by contrast, may hinder some of those fuel economy gains, but will deliver higher levels of durability. For example, heavy-duty engine oils for commercial trucks are typically formulated using VMs with an SSI of 25.
      Higher-performance additives, however, can change those considerations. Top-tier additives enable finished engine oils to achieve higher fuel economy gains in combination with lower-shear (25 SSI) VMs. This means no compromises when it comes to protection and durability while delivering meaningful fuel economy contributions.
      GF-7 is nearly here, and it raises the bar for what modern lubricants can contribute to today’s and tomorrow’s vehicles. Ultimately, today’s additive science is the reason engine oils are reaching those loftier performance standards—and that is a positive thing for every car on the road today.
